Rabbits

Better by far these rabbits in the window of Sahadi's than the ones I saw at El Badia Halal Live Poultry (Second at 40th).

Nose to the glass, I saw a crate crammed with twenty or more hopeful creatures in new spring coats, all twitches and bright stares & clambers for top spot. Babies all. Below them, a mass of hens were hunkered down in witless resignation. I tried not to focus on the dim shapes further back, As per live-market usual, a man came out to rail against photographs, so all I have is these bales of hay on an icy sidewalk. Just as well, just as well.
